About this hotel
Hotel Monte Castelo provides a quiet retreat with its colonial-style architecture and a welcoming library, perfect for unwinding.

Our take
Hotel Monte Castelo has more character than most budget hotels: a colonial-style building, a library with hundreds of books and modern, air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi. An 8.2 score from 711 guests reflects a calm, smoke-free stay a five-minute walk from Glória. Santos Dumont Airport needs a taxi, so I would see it as a quiet Rio city base rather than an airport hotel.
- Plan your airport transfers in advance, as public transport takes over an hour.
- Take advantage of the library for a quiet evening in after exploring the city.
- Walk to Glória to catch public transport or explore the local cafes and sights.

Why guests love itHotel Monte Castelo is a quiet two-star hotel in a colonial-style building in Rio, with modern, unfussy rooms that are air-conditioned and come with free Wi-Fi. Its library holds hundreds of books, a pleasant surprise for children who like to read. The building is smoke-free, Glória is a five-minute walk and a café is a minute away. Santos Dumont Airport is a taxi ride. Guests rate it 8.2 across 711 reviews, and I would book it as a calm, budget city base.
